We’ll hear Freida Rothman’s story of resilience as the granddaughter of four Holocaust survivors, and how that legacy shaped her journey as a mother, entrepreneur, and designer of jewelry lines that celebrate the strength of women. After brunch, we’ll have the opportunity to shop her collection.
Whether this is your first Women’s Philanthropy event or the next step in a longstanding journey, there’s a place for you at the table.
This event brings together donors who make a household gift of $54 or more to Federation’s 2027 Annual Campaign. You may make your gift after registering, or we welcome you to make your gift at the event.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Freida is a second—generation jeweler, entrepreneur, and mother of five whose mission is to remind every woman of her inner strength. Since founding her namesake brand in 2010, she has personally designed every piece, drawing on the grit, beauty, and architecture of her hometown.
Her signature sterling silver and mixed-metal designs transform the textures of New York City — from its skyline to the steel of the Brooklyn Bridge — into jewelry that empowers women to express their individuality every day.
The granddaughter of four Holocaust survivors, Freida’s work is rooted in resilience, heritage, and hope. For her family, Brooklyn represented a new beginning — a legacy that continues to shape every collection she creates.
